Well, after looking at the weather in the mountains, 2-4 inches of snow, sleet, rain and freezing roads, we decided to stay in Darien for another day. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny most of the way, so it sounds like a good decision. Why not stay, anyways, as we have nothing we MUST do as we are retired, footloose and fancy free, as they say. So, today we do something fun and easy, work on my photo albums, get one ready to buy, the other, mostly work on my journals, making sure they are under 900 words. Evie is relieved that we don't have the anxiety of a drive in bad weather, the kids are happy, Rami depressed (one more day with the father in law), and Beth is copacetic. I like the idea of not having to do anything if I don't want. My tendency is to tough it out, take off today, get back to the lake as planned but that's irrational, the old Biff, whereas the new Biff realizes that he needs to be more flexible, less goal driven. and enjoy the ride: to travel is better than to arrive. Believe it.
I think we made a good choice to stay as it's actually snowing here in Darien and I can imagine what our drive would be like if we had left at 8:00 as planned. We made the right decision to stay on for another day.
It's snowed most of the day, wet and slushy outside. We went to New Canaan, with Beth, to shop as she returned to the dentist to have her stitches removed. We ended up buying almost nothing, just a little something for a special person. We ate sushi for lunch, but couldn't even finish it, a first for all of us at a sushi place. We picked up Marisa, and she is now working on math problems, cutting our paper kites, tying them together, and other busy work which is a waste of time, for the most part.
